" I chanced upon Pakvaan while visiting some friends in Edison. Intrigued by their menu, I ordered a selection of snacks and was rather pleased! The samosas were crunchy with an authentic taste, and the masala chai complemented perfectly. However, the atmosphere is overly casual and lacks warmth; it felt more like a fast food joint than a proper dining experience. Overall, I'd recommend it for takeout. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried many Indian restaurants around Edison, and Pakvaan is among the best. They really nailed it with their spicy snacks—it felt very reminiscent of street food back home. The service was quick, and the staff was cheerful. But one downside is the limited seating; we had to wait a long time to be seated! Despite that, their food is worth it, and I'll definitely visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Pakvaan with a group of friends and was amazed at the flavor of their food! Their street food selection is authentic and full of spices. My favorite would have to be their samosas, which were crispy and perfectly seasoned. However, the place was a bit messy during peak hours, with tables not being cleaned fast enough. The service was average but not off-putting. Overall, a satisfying meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the opportunity to visit Pakvaan recently and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! The authentic Gujarati thali was rich and flavorful, filled with various curries and sides that reminded me of home. The service was quick, and the staff was attentive, making sure our experience was pleasant. The only downside was the limited seating, which made the atmosphere a bit cramped. Overall, I highly recommend trying this place if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" What makes Pakvaan special is its dedication to authentic flavors. Every dish I've tried has brought a taste of Gujarat to my plate! I particularly love the halva and samosas, which are always fresh and flavorful. The service can be a bit hit or miss, but the atmosphere is casual and friendly. Even though it's a bit small, the food makes you feel right at home. I’ll continue to support this restaurant for its genuine offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pakvaan is quite an experience! The ambiance is simple, which adds to the charm of an authentic dining spot. Every dish I tried—from the thali to the snacks—had exceptional flavor. The overall experience made me reminisce about my travels to India. I highly recommend their sweets for dessert as well. The only thing I wish was different is a cleaner environment; it could really elevate the dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Pakvaan after hearing so much hype about it. However, my experience was a bit underwhelming. While the vada pav was decent, it didn't have the authentic taste I was looking for. The service was okay, and the atmosphere was nothing special, unfortunately. I think I expected too much based on the reviews. I might give it another shot in the future, but I'm not in a hurry to return. " (*Curated Review*)
